CDR 26 SPECIAL NOTICE
Under certain circumstances, the CDR 26 may operate differently than the description in
the owner’s manual.
In particular, the unit will not be able to make a digital recording from an external
source such as a CD player, DVD player or MiniDisc (MD) player (as shown on
page 20 of the owner’s manual) when that player blocks a special electrical signal,
called “Sub-Q,” from the digital output. This signal contains some of the data
needed to tell the CDR 26 that the original disc has started playing, and without it
the CDR 26 cannot begin a recording.
This is outside of our control, as some manufacturers design products this way to
prevent digital copies from being made. Should you find that a digital recording cannot
be made from an external playback source, you may always use an analog connection
to make the copy by pressing the Input Select Button on the front panel or remote
control until ANALOG appears in the Information Display.
This does not affect the CDR 26’s ability to make high-speed dubs using the unit’s own
internal playback deck, and in many cases you will not encounter this problem at all,
since it is related to the brand of playback deck being used.
